A Biographical Dictionary of Dissenting Economists Second Edition

Book Description

This is a thoroughly updated new edition of the first, and definitive, biographical dictionary of dissenting economists. It is an extensive and authoritative guide to economists both past and present, providing biographical, bibliographical and critical information on over 100 economists working in the non-neoclassical traditions broadly defined. It includes entries on, among others, radical economists, Marxists, post-Keynesians, behaviorists, Kaleckians and institutionalists. The book demonstrates the extent and richness of the radical heterodox tradition in economics.

This second edition continues to mark a departure from what is usually found in a biographical dictionary for, in addition to providing standard biographical information, living economists have themselves been asked to state their principal contributions to economics, supplemented by a list of their leading books and articles.

A Biographical Dictionary of Dissenting Economists, Second Edition will continue to be an essential reference source for instructors, researchers and students of economics, its development and history

Inspirational, informative, and wise.......2004-04-23

As an Author, Coach, and Motivational Speaker I read alot of books about people, their motivations, and their relationships. Wise Moves provides loads of education and inspiration in the form of 60 short stories. The first 20 are about life, the second 20 about sales, and the last 20 are stirring quotes from people like Ghandi, John F. Kennedy, and Leonardo Da Vinci.

Some of my favorites are:

Power Physiology - Creating a physical presence that speaks of success.

Involving the prospect in the sales presentation - engaging them at multiple sensory levels allows us to judge their interest by watching their actions

Victor Frankel - The last of the human freedoms is to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances.

I agree with the statement that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Wise Moves is a book that gives me 60 opportunities to be ready for a teacher to appear. Buy yourself a copy today.

"Wise Moves" goes beyond mere sales tips to include strategies for your personal and spiritual life. This book not only empowers, it inspires!

Buying this book is a Wise Move!.......2003-06-13

I REALLY like this book! I'll admit I'm a sucker for the quick tip format because I like being able to pick up a book like this and get a payoff in just a few minutes.

Ludwig has packed this book with excellent advice and he has organized it so it is instantly accessible. The guy obviously has a lot of experience and he shares it very effectively.

I've read lots of self-help books by some of the top authors; I've moved my cheese and swam with the FISH! But this book is as good as or better than most of the books I've read in the past couple of years.

Just what the title implies - a lot of fun!.......2005-12-19

This is a very appealing cookbook for kids. Right off the bat my children were attracted to it because of the humorous, cartoon-like drawings that are sprinkled throughout. It is very easy to read and the recipes simple to do. Finally, the book is bound within a spiral notebook style so it can lay flat and is easy to handle. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a simple, starter cookbook for their budding chef!

Following a cute section entitled All About Me, come Steps to Good Health and Kitchen Safety. The recipes are separated by categories. They include: Fun with Fruit, Nuts and Bolts, Bread, Grains and Stuff, Vegetable Parade and Vegetarian Delights. It ends with Cloudy Day Fun which gives lots of neat ideas like pudding fingerpaints and making a chef's hat!

Each recipe is only one page long so it is easy to read and nicely spaced. Every page is illustrated with bright colors and humorous characters that depict the recipe. The author has done an exceptional job in laying out the recipe! A new reader could even follow along. First, there is always a cartoon guy carrying a sign saying "Adult Help Needed" if it applys. Then the author outlines each recipe in this clever pattern: READ the recipe, READY-get your cooking tools, SET the ingredients, GO-follow the directions! Finally she gives the cook some cute serving ideas.

This cookbook is just like what it's title implies...a lot of FUN! Any child interested in cooking vegetarian would enjoy using this cookbook. The recipes are easy to read, simple to do and offer a lot of success!

(FYI - The cookbook has religious undertones in its "Steps to A Good Health" Section as well as some advertisements in the back.)-Denise Steele Darnell

It's great!.......2002-08-15

It's great. You can learn a whole bunch of recipies just waiting to get cooked and if you put a whole bunch of recipies together, you can put on a party. They even have a page to help you plan. I give it 2 thumbs up!

Everything AND the kitchen sink.......2000-02-27

Before reading this book, I had very little knowledge what a mutual fund was, and had even less knowledge how to invest in them. This book explains step by step the different types of funds (small cap, mid cap, growth, blend, index, etc.) in a very easy-to-read format. It also recommends investment strategies for people at all stages of their life, and explains why certain funds may work better for people than others. After reading this book, I feel much more confident picking the right fund, and knowing how to react to market swings. A definite A+.

This is a very informative book........1999-09-10

I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about mutual fund investing. Unlike other books on the subject I have read, the author details how loads and high expenses can devastate investment returns.

Book Description

International acquisitions are failing at a rate of three out of four and international location decisions two times out of three. Where does corporate management locate a new facility or find one to acquire that will best satisfy the business objectives of survival and growth? A variety of decision making methodologies have emerged from the literature, but which are most workable? Schniederjans surveys these and other methods, analyzes and explains them carefully, and provides a new approach to help optimize the location selection decision. Included are cutting-edge applications and quantitative examples that can be easily grasped and quickly applied. With detailed appendices covering sources of international information available in print and electronically, the book will be essential for upper management and others who are engaged in planning the corporation's expansion and growth. Schniederjans organizes his book into two parts. He defines his terminology and establishes a foundation to understand the use of acquisition and location methodologies in the first part, and covers the use of one or more methodologies in facility acquisition and location analysis internationally, supported by current research findings, in the second part. Included in his four appendices of source material is one that lists currently available computer software that supports the methodologies covered in the book. The book will also help save consulting fees and help redirect the study of its topic to make the facilities acquisition and location task yield more reliable results in coming years.

detailed and useful.......2001-10-03

This book was a requirement for a class. It was easy to understand and apply. It comes with key terms in the margins for easy review and description. The chapters begin with a learning objective and concludes with a summary of each objective. Each chapter is filled with detailed information and highlights corporations and how they have applied each concept. I would recommend it for anyone constructing an organization or for those wishing to change management styles. It also, has a CD Rom that is incredible.
